Ⅲ．阅读理解
Georgia O'Keeffe always thought of herself as an artist．By 1928，the rest of the world did，too．At the age of 41，she was living in New York City and becoming a well known painter．Still，O'Keeffe wasn't happy．New York had been a good source of ideas for almost ten years．Now those ideas were drying up．O'Keeffe felt like she needed a change．She had visited New Mexico in 1917 with her sister．The wide open space had thrilled her．“Maybe I should go back，” she thought．In April 1929，O'Keeffe packed her bags．
The wide open space of New Mexico drew O'Keeffe in．She spent hours just watching the sky change．Because the light was so clear，she felt like she was seeing it for the first time．The beauty of the land renewed her．She couldn't wait to start painting．Cows' and horses' skulls and desert flowers filled her canvases (画布)．The colours of the desert inspired O'Keeffe．As a result，she made new choices in her artwork．“The colour up there is different，” she explained．She loved the dusty blues and greens．
That August，O'Keeffe went home to New York．It was the start of a pattern．Each spring，she travelled to New Mexico to paint．These trips restored her spirit．Then，in the fall，she would return to New York．There，she showed her work．Each time O'Keeffe visited New Mexico，she explored a little more．
The bleached animal bones and skulls that O'Keeffe found excited her because she could see their special beauty．The bones didn't mean death to O'Keeffe．To her，they showed the lasting beauty of the desert．The landscapes，clear light，and bright colours also spoke to her．She often painted close ups of the rocks and mountains．Later，she began to travel more in search of new ideas．However，she always came back to New Mexico．
As O'Keeffe grew older，her eyesight began to fail．Still，O'Keeffe wasn't ready to give up．Her friend Juan Hamilton helped her work with watercolours．He also taught her to sculpt．As a result，she made art into her 90s．When she died at the age of 98，Hamilton sprinkled her ashes over the desert．Her body became part of the land that had touched her art and her life．
1．Why was O'Keeffe unhappy in New York in 1928
A．She was lack of the creative ideas．
B．She felt disappointed about her job．
C．She was not successful as an artist．
D．She felt bored with life in a big city．
2．What can we know about O'Keeffe after her trips to New Mexico
A．She received great reputation there．
B．She discovered the meaning of her life．
C．She chose to settle down in that city．
D．She got new thoughts from the scenery．
3．What can we know about O'Keeffe from the passage
A．She was never afraid of failure and death．
B．She was passionate about art．
C．She was patient with the coming chances．
D．She was curious about the nature of people．
4．Which of the following could be the best title for this article
A．Lifestyle in the Desert
B．Special Love for Art
C．Inspiration from the Desert
D．Modern Women Artists

Years later，like my personal battle against disease，I learnt a great deal about 5 by overcoming difficulties．I joined the Culture Club as a Special Event Director．I 6 a group of six students in organising various activities．I was the most advanced ESL student among the group，so I considered myself the most capable．But I quickly learnt a(n) 7 ．While preparing for our first presentation，I was strict with my team members and often refused their 8 ．I performed most of their tasks myself，allowing them to 9 me only with small details．As a result，the presentation was not very successful，which 10 me，and I spoke of it to the club's director．She responded that she 11 my ability to succeed in the future．This comment filled me with 12 ，for I realised that I had never trusted my own team members．Although they were weak in English，they had many valuable talents．I immediately 13 my policy，allowing my team members to choose the tasks they desired and to complete them on their own．For our programme，we had many meetings，which gave 14 to many good ideas．I learnt what true leadership is．

Ⅳ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者小时候患有严重的皮肤病，但通过积极治疗，健康状况大有好转。后来，作者克服困难，学会了很多关于领导方面的才能，但由于缺乏对成员的信任，导致很失败。最终，作者通过自己的亲身经历学会了面对挑战。
1．B [suffer from是固定词组，意为“患病，遭受痛苦”。根据下文“which filled my arms with scars”可知，作者患上了严重的皮肤病。故选B。]
2．A [the true pain真正的痛苦。根据下文“however，was social: I lived a life of loneliness”可知，然而，作者的真正痛苦是过着孤独的生活。故选A。]
3．D [根据下文“trying many medications and herbs，and my health
greatly before I graduated”可知，作者在抗击疾病方面发挥了积极的作用。故选D。]
4．B [根据上文“I therefore took a(n) role in fighting against my disease，trying many medications and herbs”可知，由于作者接受了积极治疗，作者的健康状况大有好转。故选B。]
5．C [根据上文“Years later，like my personal battle against disease，I learned a great deal about by overcoming difficulties．”可知，就像克服困难战胜病魔一样，作者克服困难学会了一些领导才能。且下文的“I learnt what true leadership is．”也是提示。故选C。]
6．C [根据下文“I learnt what true leadership is．”可知，在组织各种活动时作者负责六名学生。故选C。]
7．A [根据上文“I was the most advanced ESL student among the group，so I considered myself the most capable．”和转折词But可知，作者很快得到了教训。故选A。]
8．C [根据下文“For our programme，we had many meetings，which gave
to many good ideas．”提示可知，作者对他的团队成员很严格，并且经常拒绝他们的想法。故选C。]

Ⅴ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了中国游泳运动员Qian Hongyan的励志故事。
1．importantly [考查副词。空格处用副词作状语，修饰整个句子，important的副词是importantly，more importantly意为“更重要的是”，故填importantly。]
2．for [考查介词。for the first time是固定短语，意为“第一次”，因此空格处用介词for，故填for。]
3．Known [考查非谓语动词。句中谓语是has been，空格处用非谓语动词，Qian和know之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词，表被动，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Known。]
4．a [考查冠词。accident是可数名词，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，car的发音以辅音音素开头，因此空格处用不定冠词a，故填a。]
5．which [考查定语从句。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词half of a basketball是物，因此空格处用关系代词which，故填which。]
6．was [考查时态和主谓一致。由in the beginning可知，句子描述过去的事情，空格处用过去式，主语it是单数，因此空格处是was，故填was。]
7．herself [考查反身代词。句子表示“没有双腿，让她自己浮在水面上似乎是一项不可能完成的任务”，空格处意为“她自己”，用反身代词herself。故填herself。]
8．becoming [考查非谓语动词。句中谓语是improved，空格处用非谓语动词，Qian和become之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，因此空格处用动词ing形式，表主动，故填becoming。]
9．ninth [考查序数词。根据语境可知，句子表示“她在女子100米蛙泳中获得第九名”，空格处表示“第九”，用序数词ninth。故填ninth。]
10．to come [考查不定式。hope后的宾语从句中谓语是will keep pushing her limits and have a great life，空格处用非谓语动词，句子表示“在未来的岁月里拥有美好的生活”，空格处用不定式表将来，作后置定语，故填to come。]
